S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

I like his look so far. It’s gonna be weird crotch vs broken shoulder stripes (Mafex) I may pick him up depending on his load out. He looks less anime than Cyclops. I’m hoping some of these can help fill in a Legends-MAFEX display. Was Nightcrawler ever in the games?

I don't believe he has been. Not as a playable character, at least. Someone correct me if not, but he may have been playable in the old Konami arcade and that has been it.
 
From what I recall of the sprite era, on the X-affiliated side there was: Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Psylocke, Gambit, Rogue, Colossus, Iceman, Cable, Marrow, Sabretooth, Juggernaut, Sentinel, Magneto, Silver Samurai, Spiral.

The 3D era added: Phoenix, Laura, and Deadpool, plus a host of alt costumes for those on the roster.
 
Nightcrawler was never playable, though he made numerous TINY cameo appearances in MVC3.

But I'd wager the most obscure they're willing to go for the Capcom games are the MVC1 assist characters and various secret characters. Those would be:
  • Jubilee (Only assist-only Marvel character to be featured in promo art and not later be upgraded to a playable character)
  • Thor (No promo art, later became a full-fledged character in MVC3, but he had a different design there.)
  • U.S. Agent (Likely, he's just Captain America with black instead of blue)
  • Gold War Machine, Red Venom, Orange Hulk, Mephisto (all just straight repaints of essential characters)
I doubt they would EVER do most of them, but if we include the endings of arcade modes of everything up to MVC2 (as these have full designs/illustrations), we could add:
  • Forge
  • Archangel
  • Beast
  • Jean Grey
  • Professor X
  • Matsuo Tsurayaba & The Hand Ninjas
  • Exodus, and a handful of the Acolytes
  • Adam & Magus
  • Birdy
  • Mary Jane
 
Yeah, I would've disqualified other figures over those thigh swivels. I prefer something more Mafex-like with no cut, but I swear I've been seeing more smaller companies put ridiculous swivels into their figures.
Back when Cyclops was shown, I said something like, "There's so much here I hate, but I'm still buying it."
 
He looks so good, but the more I look at it, the less I'm seeing *Capcom* Wolverine.

Needs to be thicker and stockier. The mask needs to be a little more flared. It's not as anime looking as Cyclops and Spidey.
